Notes on this record
Recategorised from "incident" to "inquiry" on 26 August 2026. A convened proceeding is not an incident: an incident is something that happened to somebody, a hearing or panel is something an institution did, on a published date, producing a record this project holds. While filed as an incident this node rendered in plain body text on the timeline, indistinguishable from a person's name, because the colour rule marks government bodies and programmes and "incident" is not marked.
